Top Row:

- Presence: Adds more bite to the tone
- Saturation: Adds more hair and saturation

Bottom Row:
- Volume: Controls the overall volume of the pedal
- Tone: Counter-clockwise provides a deeper, softer tone, while cranking it adds cut and aggression

The Athos V2 has been redesigned with a smaller footprint while maintaining the same massive tone as before. It is handmade in Texas and is described as a fire breather that fits on any pedalboard, large or small. The pedal is known for its versatility and ability to deliver a sludgy texture, making it suitable for various applications within the distortion genre.
